Bridesmaid Dresses

So!! The ball is rolling on bridesmaid dresses and it's exciting!! Norma (matron of honour)'s mother-in-law is a seamstress, and a great one at that, and she has agreed to make the dresses as soon as we find the fabric we like. We've decided to scrap our earlier design of the dress (the one with the poofy sleeves and all the bows) and go with something a little bit less complex. The goal is something simple, classic and elegant that will keep the girls comfortable on what might be a hot day, especially inside the church.

So Kathleen and her mom will be off to a fabric store in the near future to see what's available; hopefully the spring fabrics will be in stock, and we'll be able to find a nice sage green pearly satin. We're also on the hunt for material for the veil, which we're going to make ourselves because veils are ridiculously expensive. RIDICULOUSLY.

This afternoon, we're wading through the snow and cold to go and meet with a potential florist. More on that tomorrow!!
